Do I Need to Know How to Swim to Paddle Board?

You can go paddle boarding without knowing how to swim. However, it’s advised to wear a life jacket at all times and practice in still, calm waters between 20’’ and 30’’ deep. A lagoon would be an ideal location to do so. And if possible, bring someone with you so that you will have someone there to help you when you are in a dangerous situation. 

it is not neccessary to know how to swim to paddle, but it’s better if you can swim because you are bound to fall into the water at some point, especially if you are just starting to learn how to paddle board. In this post, we will explore all the paddling issues for non-swimmers and weak swimmers, and provide advice for staying safe and, most importantly, to make sure you enjoy your time on the water.
